Hi RENN,

in this case i think it would be a good solution to use a table as seen in your image. All your values are strings then. You can use a seperate array to store the types.

Hope it helps.

 you mean is it better to convert the string data type(eg-numbers in table) to intiger using one of the string/Number conversion function?

i'm actually using a table now. some columns are intended for numbers. but if the end user inserts some letters in the column intended for  numbers (string datatype) these functions returns zero.

I would make a 1D array of clusters, where the cluster contains a numeric, an enum, and a string, Arrange the cluster elements horizontally and resize the array vertically.

See also this idea.
